A pin 28 is pivotally mounted in aligned openings 29 formed in a pair of spaced parallel lugs 3()v extending at right angles from one end of the arm 24 and is provided with a transverse threaded opening 31 which engages a threaded portion 32 of a rod 33. A bracket 34, removably secured to the inclined flange 6 of the reflector, surrounds the rod 33 and is provided with an annular seat 35 which receives the grooved head 36 thereof. The inclined flangeG is provided with an opening 37 which registers with the head of the rod. Any suitable tool may be inserted through the opening 37 to engage the grooved head for rotating the rod 33 and adjusting the reflector independently of the operation of the arm 24.

A washer 38 surrounds the rod 33 and abuts the lugs 30 while a coil spring 38 surrounds the rod between the washer 38 andthe bracket 34 and securely holds said bracket against the head of said rod thereby preventing rattling. j

The arm 24 is provided at its opposite end with an angular extension 39 which projects through the aligned openings 19 and 20 in the extension 18 and lamp casing respectively and isgconnected to suitable operating means (not shown) extending within convenient reach of the operator.

A cover k40 is removably secured to the housing 16 and cooperates therewith to enclose the annular member 22 and a portion of the arm 24 including the cylindrical enlargement 25. The cover 40 is provided with a transversely extending longitudinally curved slot 41 which receives the cylindrical enlargement 25. A curved groove 42 is formed in the curved slot of the cover intermediate the ends of the slot and receivesjthe annular member 22. A pair of aligned grooves 43 are formed in the edges .by rotating the rod 33.

of the cover and receive the operating arm 24. The cover is also provided with an elongated extension 44 which registers with the ,extension 18 of the housing and receives a por-tion of the arm 24.

A second housing 45, corresponding in construction to the housing 16, is formed integral with the plate 11 upon the opposite side of the tubular portion 13 and may be used to house the operating mechanism to move the reflector when it is not convenient to use the housingl. A cover plate 46 is secured to the second housing while not in use.

Movement of the arm 24 in one direction will cause the reflector 5 to be moved to a downwardly inclined position, whereupon movement. of the arm in the opposite direction will return the reflector to normal position. The reflector may be adjusted independently of the movement of the arm 24 While it is believed that vfrom the foregoing description the nature and advantages of the invention will be readily apparent, I desire to have it understood that I do not limit myself to what is herein shown and described and that such chan s may be resorted to when desired as all within the scope of what is claimed.

What I claim as my invention is:

1. The combination with a lamp easing, of a reflector in said casing, an arm operably connected to said reflector for moving the same, a housing secured to said casing, and means in said housing surrounding said arm for resisting movement of said arm.

2. The combination with a lamp casing, of a reflector in said casing, a reci rocatory arm operably connected to said re ector for moving the same, a housing secured to said casing, and means in said housing surrounding said arm for resisting movement of said arm in either direction.

3. The combination with a lamp casing, of a reflector in said casing, a reci rocatory arm operably connected to said re ector for moving the same, a housing secured to said casing, an annular enlargement formed on the said arm and located in said liousin and means in said housing engageable wit said enlargement for resisting movement of said arm, the endlwalls of said housing limiting the movement of said enlargement in either direction.

4. The combination with a lamp casing, of a reflector in said casing, an arm operably connected to said reflector for moving the same, a housing secured to said casing, a stationary annular member in said housin Y surrounding said arm, and means seate within said annular member for resisting movement of said arm.

5. The combination with a lamp easing, of a reflector in said casing, an arm operably connected to said reflector for moving the same, a housing secured to said casing, a stationary annular member in said housing surrounding said arm, an enlargement formed on said arin movable through said annular member, and a spring in said annular member engageable with Said enlargement for resisting movement of said arm.

6. The combination with a lamp casing, of a reflector in said easing, an arm operably connected to said reflector for moving the same, a housing secured to said casing, an annular member in said housing surrounding said arm, projections extending from said housing and engaging opposite sides of said annular member, and spring means in said annular member for resisting movement of said arm.

7. The combination with a lamp casing, of a reflector in said casing, a housing secured to said casing with o eni therein, an arm extending throug said openings 'and operably connected to said reflector for moving the same, and an enlargement formed on said arm and loca-ted in said housing to limit the movement of said erm through said openings.

8. The combination with a lamp easing, of a reflector mounted in said easing, an arm operably connected to said reflector, zt

housing Within said easing and secured thereto, an annular member in said housing surrounding said arm, and a grooved cover 10 secured to said housing and cooperating therewith to retain said annular member and to limit the movement of said arm.
